To be honest, I’m not sure if anything changed between 3.08.2 and 3.08.3, mostly because I spent this week hammered. However, in the spirit of Monday, I shall release what I have in my folder, krakens and all.
All Fixes and Tweaks from v3.08
• Fixed instance where NPCs from Aldmeri Prisoner would follow forever
• Added 2 missing audio files for Zajhirra, Callen
• Added failsafe that forcibly stops a scene involving Vardath and Kleppr at stage 50 in case it gets stuck
This version corrects a couple of bugs related to Ariele and Fa’nar. Specifically, Ariel’s ward had dialogue conditioned to all vanilla Argonians. Meanwhile the script that disables Robber’s Refuge patrons depending on the day of the week didn’t account for whether Fa’nar was your husband.
If he’s disabled and you’re married, just enter Robber’s Refuge again and he should enable regardless of the day.
All Fixes and Tweaks from v3.08
• Optimization for Dro’bar‘s Shack courtesy of nonoodles
• Fixed lines in Ariele’s quest that were incorrectly conditioned to all Argonians and all guards
• Fixed bug where a married Fa’nar would still disable upon entering Robber’s Refuge on a weekday.
• Fixed instance where NPCs from Aldmeri Prisoner would follow forever
• Added 2 missing audio files for Zajhirra, Callen
• Added failsafe that forcibly stops a scene involving Vardath and Kleppr at stage 50 in case it gets stuck
This version corrects an issue with Vaughn where he wasn’t following properly. So you’d pay him his 1000 gold fee and then he’d just sit there grinning like a dillweed. He’ll still do that, the grinning, but at least now he’ll get out of the chair.
All Fixes and Tweaks from v3.08
• Fixed issues with recruiting Vaughn and other mercs

• Added failsafe that forcibly stops a scene involving Vardath and Kleppr at stage 50 in case it gets stuck
This version adds some minor tweaks and failsafes based on the bug reports and feedback I’ve gotten. While I couldn’t necessarily replicate everything, adding backup packages and the like should help when Skyrim gets wonky. And it likes to get wonky, oh yes, it sure does love to wonk.
In other news, Treads the Ashes has been cast, so hopefully he’ll find his way into Skyrim before version 3.09.
All Fixes and Tweaks from v3.08
• Moved some of Lajjan‘s hellos to her goodbyes

Happy Holidays ya’ll! As for presents well here is a drawing from Mokibun that I skillfully photoshopped into a greeting card. I can’t even tell it’s a shop nope looks completely legit.
Anyways this version has the Player Bard Tweak I mentioned previously, so no more weapon draws to get out of the lute idle. Also I think I might’ve skipped version 3.08.7, but whatever. I named the zip file 3.08.8 so that’s what we’re going with.
All Fixes and Tweaks from v3.08
• Player Bard no longer requires drawing your weapon to exit idle
• Moved some of Lajjan‘s hellos to her goodbyes
• Added failsafe package in case Inari doesn’t move to a marker in Warm Sands quest

This will be the last small update before v3.09. If you have any changes, adjustments, or bug fixes you would like to report, speak now or forever hold your peace, and by forever I mean until the next version.

Here’s King626‘s poster of Interesting NPCs, along with the release of v3.09. I said last week I’d wait until Treads was finished, but it looks like it will take some time to get that NPC into game shape, and I want to get the bug fixed in Ariele’s quest for people who don’t use the smaller updates. Not much difference from 3.08.9 save for the subtitle fixes, thanks to Nodachi and others for their diligence in spotting those.

All right, here’s version 0.01c of Hope Lies. Just a minor update with some new idles and some minor maintenance tweaks. I’m considering moving her to New Vegas on a permanent basis as well, so I may add the personal quest as a short little vignette you can play.
Here’s a small update with some minor tweaks and suggestions from the past few weeks. The main change is the addition of Ronja Monto‘s version Wolves of Jorrvaskr, both to Alassea and as a random instrumental for the bards.
Marrying Alassea also comes with an additional requirement of taking her to the Temple of Mara and expressing interest in a relationship.
All Fixes and Tweaks from v3.09:
This is version v3.09.2, which features a beta release of a new NPC, Treads-the-Ashes, written by Lindsey Lorraine and voiced by James McLauchlan. You can initiate the encounter by walking along the eastern coast, a few miles north of the Wreck of the Winter War.
I also altered the aliases in Spell it Out for Me so they don’t fill if the target is already dead. Also conditioned the marker on Lagdu and Lurgok not to appear unless they’ve been enabled.

Zora with the photobomb
This is update v3.09.3, which should fix Treads’ follow dialogue not showing up after the initial greeting. He’s still an alpha character for testing mostly. The Zora screenshot is courtesy of CorpseHatch.

In other news, a handful of people have sent in donations recently, and I appreciate them all because hosting isn’t cheap, and has the odd irony of getting more expensive the more successful the mod becomes. But I just want to remind everyone that donations aren’t necessary, you can help pay for the upkeep and other modding associated costs simply by whitelisting AdBlock when browsing this site.
Lastly, a reminder not to be an asshole.
I didn’t want to write about this because honestly, I care more about my favorite team’s crowded outfield than I do this controversy. But this isn’t exclusive to paid mods. This goes back to gamergaters, to one of my actors being harassed for her Dragon Age mod, to the abuse of anonymity, and how we treat our fellow man.
First of all, anonymity isn’t just necessary, it’s vital, and we should always have it. But it isn’t perfect and it never will be. That’s why the onus is on us to police ourselves. To know the line.
Now, I get that it’s a very, very hard thing to do, especially when you’re passionate about something. Divines know I’ve crossed it many times in my life, and it’s only now that I’m somewhat aware of its existence. At my best, I know exactly where it is. At my worst, I don’t see it, but I know to look for it. I try my best to respect it. Because I’m cognizant of the repercussions for crossing it.
I get that it’s invisible. Shit, sometimes, it even moves. And there are times you need to run for it, moments where you need to sprint to the edge and get as close as you can because your voice feels so small and it’s the only way anyone will hear you. But it’s there, somewhere deep in the fog, and when you cross it, it hurts people. And the worst part is, once you cross that line, it doesn’t matter how loud you shout or how many people can hear your voice. You haven’t said a word.
I guess my point is, if you felt like you overreacted to this controversy, use it as a learning experience. Because this wasn’t the first, and it won’t be the last. When the next one comes, be conscious of the line. Learn when to run and when to watch your step. And most important of all, remember the people whose lives you impact when you cross it.
All Fixes and Tweaks from v3.09:
Here’s a quick update to fix Treads’ dismissal, which was erroneously conditioned to Meresine being in your party. I also went through all the quests and ticked the Allow Reserved box for all NPCs, as recently a user reported problems with aliases filling unless the box was ticked. And if an alias doesn’t fill, then nothing will work, so hopefully ticking all those boxes will help solve any issues on that front.
The BSA is the same this week, as none of the scripts, sound files, or mesh/textures changed from the previous release.

Here’s this week’s release, version 3.09.5. I’ve made a couple changes, most notably I removed some of the bass from Eldar‘s track which I admit I might’ve overdone to account for the CAD u37’s lack of bass frequencies. The other change is the new Black-Briar version of Mogo’s Mead labels from 1ndaJone5 . If you’ve played the quest, you can guess where you can find them.
Lastly, I also asked the great Sharlikran to inspect the esp and see if he couldn’t make any fixes where necessary. The only errors he found were the normal errors the CK causes to the NavMeshes, which he has resolved. I hope this will help smooth some kinks out. And again, thank you all for your support. It means a lot.
Edit: I just noticed I put 1ndaJone5′ new Mogo’s Mead texture in the wrong folder, file path should be:
textures\clutter\mogomead\maven-mogolabel-256×512.dds
Fixed that and re-uploaded. But you don’t need to re-download, just find the folder “mogomead” and place the Maven-mogolabel-256×512 texture with the others. The folder quoted above should already exist in your Data folder. If that’s too confusing just download the link below.
All Fixes and Tweaks from v3.09:
Here’s version 3.09.6 which fixes a longstanding bug for Among-the-Hist‘s dialogue that was caused by Keerava’s innkeeper note. I suppose few people were using the note, however, because no one mentioned it until last week.

UPDATE: WHEEEE TRAILER!
So it looks like all the leaks have forced Bethesda to move up their announcement to tomorrow. While confirmation is nice, ultimately we’re still probably a year away from playing Fallout 4, if the Skyrim announcement is any indication. The original trailer was released on December of 2010.
In any case, you may have noticed yesterday I’ve put up some mods up on the forums for testing, so while this is sooner than expected, the timing works out. Here’s what I got so far. Now, eventually I’ll have a download page that’s much easier to peruse, as well as a Nexus page and a bundled download and shit like that. Right now, everything is still in construction, so you’ll have to download the files separately. You can find more information and NPC locations by checking out the Wiki or the Fallout mod forum.
Of the five, only Spider and Room 404 have quests at the moment. Of course, it’s not a coincidence that most of these mods are followers. Those are just easier to get voiced because it only requires one or two dedicated actors. The quest mods will probably take a few weeks more, but hopefully everyone will meet their deadline.
Anyways, these are all still in Alpha, so report any bugs in the appropriate section. I imagine some things can be broken deliberately as Fallout 3 isn’t designed for scenes, but hopefully everything is intuitive enough to where you know when to let a scene play out. Otherwise I’ll have to do like vanilla and freeze you in place and that can feel suffocating.
Hello, fellow Interesting NPC cast members/fans! My name is Cassandra Wladyslava. You may recognize me as the voices of Lajjan, Dirassi, and a few other characters. Well…gosh…I think clean over a year ago I was asked to provide the voice of a new follower for Skyrim based on the character “Cassandra Pentagast” from Dragon Age II and Dragon Age Inquisition. I accepted and, after lots of time, hard work, and love, she was released yesterday!
Here’s a little blurb from the nexus page:
Cassandra went from attempting fighting to close tears and restore balance to the land of Thedas to suddenly waking up in Skyrim. With no desire to return home, this custom voiced follower is now available to help the Dragonborn in their adventures long as the Dragonborn is just of course.
I’d love for everyone to check her out and give her a shot!
You can find more info and d/l her here:
Here’s Hope Lies v0.02, now with a personal quest. With the news that Fallout 4 is going to have a voiced protagonist, I’m leaning toward keeping Hope in New Vegas. Jessica Osborne you know, and Jesus Acosta and Mark Lancaster round out the cast.
https://3dnpc.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/hope-lies-v0-02.zip
If you’ve already asked Hope about her orchid hunt, you can start the quest by talking to her at either the Goodsprings or Mojave Outpost tavern. I think Vegas and a couple other locations work too, but those are the most obvious. I’ll make a proper Wiki once I have time.
Fallout 3 bundle coming tomorrow.
Here’s the first bundled download for Fallout 3. The one here has an additional mod, The Clara Bella, that is not included in the Nexus release – at least until I can replace some of the prostitute voice files that are from New Vegas.
All of these mods can be started in game, but the Vault 101 questline [3DNPC_FO3.esm] is recommended to play from game start.
Lastly, thanks to all the actors and nonoodles who helped in the making of these mods. Some didn’t make it into this release, but will be added in subsequent updates. I also have some mods for FNV in the works which are close to being ready, so look for those as well.
Here’s a release with a brand new Moris the Draugr, voiced by Mark Lancaster. As I mentioned in the earlier post, you can still use the old files if you wish, just download them from the Wiki page.
People have asked on many occasions if the mod is finished, and I can never answer in the affirmative. The work is never done.

Here’s update 3.09.8 with a re-recorded Fironet. The previous version was done using a Blue Snowball, which is a commonly used condenser mic but has its flaws. This one was done with the Blue Yeti plus an isolation shield, and the results are much more clearer when compared to the previous trailer.
Alienslikechocolate also added another song, With Bells On, to Fironet‘s repertoire. So even if you didn’t mind the old recording, there’s something new for you in this version.
